Climate? of the written ?tates Washington, 2301 20515 July 11, 2016 The Honorable Channing D. Phillips US. Attorney for the District of Columbia 555 Fourth Street NW Washington, DC. 20530 Dear Mr. Phillips: We write to request an investigation to determine whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton committed perjury and made false statements during her testimony under oath before congressional committees. While testifying before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 7, 2016, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey stated the truthfulness of Secretary Clinton?s testimony before Congress was not within the scope of the investigation. Nor had the FBI even considered any of Secretary Clinton?s testimony. Director Comey further testi?ed the Department of Justice requires a criminal referral from Congress to initiate an investigation of Secretary Clinton?s congressional testimony. We are writing for that purpose. The evidence collected by the FBI during its investigation of Secretary Clinton?s use of a personal email system appears to directly contradict several aspects of her sworn testimony. In light of those contradictions, the Department should investigate and determine whether to prosecute Secretary Clinton for violating statutes that prohibit perjury and false statements to Congress, or any other relevant statutes. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. amp/g. am Jason Chaffetz I Bob Goodlatte Chairman Chairman Committee on Oversight and Committee on the Judiciary Government Reform cc: The Honorable Elijah E.
